Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries

(Victor Valley)– Sunday, March 8 is Daylight Saving Time. It’s time to “spring forward” one hour.

When you change your clocks, it is also time to change the batteries in your smoke alarms. A working smoke alarm can decrease a family’s risk of dying in a fire by nearly 50 percent. Batteries from household smoke alarms may be recycled at your nearest household hazardous waste recycling facility. An alarm should be installed on every floor of your home, in every bedroom, and outside of all sleeping areas.
